About this ebook
An ALA Sydney Taylor Award Honoree
A Junior Library Guild Selection
Isabel has one rule: no dating.
It’s easier—
It’s safer—
It’s better—
—for the other person.
She’s got issues. She’s got secrets. She’s got rheumatoid arthritis.
But then she meets another sick kid.
He’s got a chronic illness Isabel’s never heard of, something she can’t even pronounce. He understands what it means to be sick. He understands her more than her healthy friends. He understands her more than her own father who’s a doctor.
He’s gorgeous, fun, and foul-mouthed. And totally into her.
Isabel has one rule: no dating.
It’s complicated—
It’s dangerous—
It’s never felt better—
—to consider breaking that rule for him.

Love, LOVE, LOOOOOOVE this book!!!! Author Hannah Moskowitz brings snarky, realistic teenagers to life while accurately representing chronic illness, physical disability, and family interactions in a way that is a joy to read, and kept me wanting to know what happens next. This tale of sick kids being allowed to be sick, versus having to hide it and pretend things are fine, really resonated with me. This is something everyone should read and be aware of; everyone who has someone in their life who is chronically ill or disabled to some degree. The whole idea that well-meaning acquaintances, or even close family members, may affect the way a chronically ill person views themselves and their abilities. Those around us may wield unknown influence over a person’s way of thinking; disappointment when they can’t do something; often or all the time, or ever, versus it’s okay to not be able to do that thing sometimes, or often, or ever. These are really important concepts and Moskowitz completely gets it, and portrays it accurately, in a fun way. #SickKidsInLove #NetGalley - I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s.
